A Docent Tour
A docent leads a group around
To highlight what’s on view
With information most
Museum-goers never knew.
If he or she’s a good one,
Your attention will be held
And perhaps to more exhibits
You may therefore be compelled.
Though passionate about the job,
Most docents don’t get paid.
Quite often, they’ve retired
From another stock in trade.
We’re lucky for these volunteers
Who happily enthuse
Sharing facts about displays of which
We’ve not the slightest clues.
